(Sansad TV via PTI)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">The Lok Sabha on Wednesday witnessed a heated confrontation between the leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi, and Home Minister Amit Shah, as discussions on electoral reforms escalated into chaos.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Shah defended the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral reforms, arguing it was essential to remove undocumented migrants from voter rolls. However, Gandhi challenged him to a debate at his press conference about \u2018vote theft\u2019 allegations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi expressed dissatisfaction with Shah\u2019s response to the opposition\u2019s concerns, suggesting Shah was merely reading from a script and failed to address issues raised by leaders such as Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, Kalyan Banerjee, and Supriya Sule.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Gogoi stated, \u201cWe expected the Home Minister to answer the opposition\u2019s questions from the last two days of discussion. Instead, he followed a script.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Gogoi also refuted Shah\u2019s claim that Congress never approached the Election Commission, stating, \u201cOur party leaders have held numerous press conferences outside the Election Commission and lodged many complaints. Why didn\u2019t the Home Minister notice the \u2018polluted\u2019 voter list during the Lok Sabha polls when they dreamed of crossing 400 seats?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Chaos In Lok Sabha<\/h4>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">During Shah\u2019s speech, the house erupted into chaos as the Opposition staged a walkout. BJP MP Tejasvi Surya called it \u201cutterly shameful&#8221; that Rahul Gandhi led the walkout while the Home Minister was answering their questions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Surya criticized the opposition for their persistent demands for a debate on SIR and EVM, which disrupted Parliament proceedings, only to walk out when Shah addressed their questions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">BJP leader and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma praised Shah\u2019s speech, stating that he effectively countered the opposition\u2019s propaganda on SIR. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also commended Shah\u2019s speech as \u201coutstanding,&#8221; highlighting how he exposed the lies of the opposition.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Union Minister Piyush Goyal defended the SIR, stating that the exercise aimed to make the voter list \u201ctransparent and clean.&#8221; He accused the opposition of walking out due to objections to this and claimed that the opposition\u2019s actions revealed their lack of public support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfd\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfdbtn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/><span class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\">Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1586057233 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 11, 2025, 12:39 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1586057233 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> BJP-Congress Lock Horns Over Amit Shah Vs Rahul Gandhi Showdown In Lok Sabha<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
